Benkei and Moon Over Daimotsu Bay 1886 Tsukioka Yoshitoshi

The Warrior-priest Benkei stands in the prow of a ship, reciting prayers to calm a sudden storm caused by the enemies of his master, Minamoto no Yoshitsune. The waves crash around the vessel, yet Benkei remains serene.

弁慶に五条の月の寒さかな
benkei ni gojō no tsuki no samusa kana

on Gojō Bridge under the moon
it is cold
